Fear... Anger... Loneliness, Sadness... Doubt...etc. They are all Guides--with an important message. If you quit resisting them. If you quit extinguishing them, fighting them, and making them wrong, dismissing and bypassing them because they are “not spiritual”, building stories as to why you are suffering, they will tell you why they persist and they will bring you into your Light, your lighted Self.
THEY will help point YOU to the Source of Truth and Love.
FEAR might say, "When I am afraid and helpless, I need rest and tenderness and support, and sometimes you don't feed me well. Sometimes you leave me in dark places where I can't see. You retreat into your illusionary safety. I feel afraid because I need you to surround me with your Courage and loving Presence so when things get hard (unknown) I can face and get through it powerfully. I can be vulnerable with a sense, a purpose."
ANGER might say, "I have been put away, not listened to, disempowered, and minimized for too long! You keep shutting me up and turning me off and I am tired of it. I matter! I am important! I am worthy! I want to be heard. I want to be loved. I want to be me. I want to feel my power without judgement and “put down”. Do you hear me? I love me! Stop it! You are killing me inside. This feeling of anger isn't wrong. It's just me wanting out of this cage. See me! Let me feel FREE! Let me be whole!"
LONELINESS might say, "Let it be okay sometimes that I look to your Presence, to you when I can't find my own way. I know that I should find my own Source. But aren't we all One? Can you be here for me? Can you hold me? And can I fall apart in your arms and feel safe to regain my balance in our shared Presence? I desperately need to know how to love another this way and am still learning."
DOUBT might say, "I have no idea what I am doing anymore. Yesterday I was so sure. Today I am completely lost. I need a hand to hold. Please open me to new ideas. The control centre is down and that is good because now a higher source can come in and take me to something bigger. I am completely open. Let love in. I have no idea what to do, so something or someone else has got to come through here. I am open to receive new data"
These emotions are an essential part of being human and are how we experience the contrasts of the up and down waves of the Great Flow. To deny them or separate them as “not You”, is to be out of touch. These energies are vehicles into higher consciousness, the Divinity of yourself, into God. But you have to listen. You have to allow them. Love them.
Shine On
I So Love You
*********************************
PS Being enlightened does not mean you do not experience these emotions. It means you learn to appreciate and listen to them immediately so that they become part of the richness of your journey and "no big deal" because you have ignored and suppressed, them or tried to rationalise them out of existence. They are like making foot adjustment on the surfboard to bring yourself into perfect alignment for the next crest or trough in your ride.
BEFRIEND YOUR EMOTIONS. What kind of HUman would you be without your feeling?
